    I'm looking for the lyrics to a song from 'years ago' about Tehillim. It hs the words my friend my Tehillim...pages have seen my/many tears....I don't know who sings it. If anyone can post the name of singer/album I'd appreciate it. My students just received their very own Sefer Tehillim - I'd like to teach them some of this song.... Thanks.

    i think its mordechai ben david
    my sefer tehillim i've always held you so dear
    i've turned to you in troubled times, you taught me not to fear
    your words are engraved upon my heart, your pages have felt my tears

    I think it's on Hallel. Definitely not MBD.

    I don't know too much of it but here's some.

    My sefer tehillim,
    I've always held you so dear,
    You help me express my deepest thoughts,
    You taught me not to fear.
    Your words are engrained upon my heart,
    Your pages have felt my tears,
    You help me express me deepest thoughts (I think?)
    ........(not sure what's next)

    Maybe if each poster adds another line, you'll end up with the whole song.

    Yes, it's on Hallel. This is the chorus:

    My Sefer Tehillim
    I've always held you so dear
    I turned to you in troubled times
    You taught me not to fear.

    Your words are engraved upon my heart
    Your pages have felt my tears
    You helped me express my deepest thoughts
    To my Father Who always hears(?)

    It was sung by "Aron" (Larry) Gates.

    CORRECTION- I just listened closely:

    My Sefer Tehillim
    I've always held you so near
    I've turned to you in troubled times
    You taught me not to fear.

    Your words are engraved upon my heart
    Your pages have felt my tears
    You helped me express my deepest thoughts
    To the Father I hold so dear.

    I tried to find the song on google - I ended up with Hallel/Lipa Shmeltzer. How exactly should I look this up? (I'm really NOT experienced navigating on google....) Thanks! Thank you for posting the name of the singer, I'll try using that....

    I can take out the old record player and listen to it and write down the words. Would that help?
